"Self-Created Soul Skill," Dust on His Hem

"An unprecedented holder of a Soul Elder-level Golden Soul Arena Badge! Since entering the arena as a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, he has known no defeat! The elegant Heavenly Radiance has crushed one powerful opponent after another with absolute dominance! Let us welcome the absolute ruler of the arena with thunderous applause!"

The commentator's voice was incredibly impassioned, and the spectators in the stands erupted in cheers. Tang San and the others exchanged glances. The Great Soul Arena was packed to capacity, and from time to time, lavish audience members even removed their gold watches and necklaces and threw them into the arena. Under the attention of countless eyes, dazzling golden light gathered on the arena floor and gradually formed a human figure. Wearing a mask and keeping his hands in his pockets, Su Sanjia leisurely basked in the cheers coming from every direction.

"Heavenly Radiance! Heavenly Radiance! Heavenly Radiance!"

The cheers continued for a full three minutes.

"Golden Soul Arena Badge! Undefeated!"

From Flender's words alone, they could tell just how brutal the Great Soul Arena was! According to the host's introduction, Su Sanjia had begun competing when he was a Soul Grandmaster. He had actually maintained a winning streak ever since becoming a Soul Grandmaster? With level 21 Soul Power, he had faced opponents at levels twenty-eight and twenty-nine; with level 31 Soul Power, he had faced opponents nearing the Soul Ancestor rank. It was terrifying!

A thought suddenly arose in Tang San's heart: Losing to someone like that didn't seem so embarrassing after all...

Su Sanjia's opponent this time was a level 38 Soul Master, a power-attack Battle Soul Master whose Martial Soul was called the Berserk Giant Elephant. Three Soul Rings in the optimal configuration—two yellow and one purple—pulsed around the man's body, yet Su Sanjia did not summon any Soul Rings.

"What's going on? Why isn't Su Sanjia using his Soul Rings?"

He had only entered Martial Soul Possession and had not summoned his Soul Rings. That meant Su Sanjia had no intention of using Soul Skills. But facing a level 38 power-attack Battle Soul Elder without using Soul Skills was far too arrogant, wasn't it?

"You'll get used to it. Su Sanjia rarely uses Soul Skills in the Great Soul Arena. The dean and the others said that when he competed at the Soul Grandmaster level, he only used his first Soul Skill."

Dai Mubai explained it this way.

"What?! He's kept winning until now with just one Soul Skill?"

Xiao Wu cried out in shock. Tang San, standing beside her, sank into thought. In truth, with the cards he currently held, he could also defeat most opponents without using Soul Skills, though he would need to use hidden weapons.

Could it be...

Tang San stared fixedly at Su Sanjia. Could the other man, like him, have transmigrated from another world? Was he also a martial arts expert from another world?

In his previous life, Tang San had merely been an outer disciple of the Tang Sect. His worldview had contained no extraordinarily advanced technology, nor any wildly fantastical other worlds. Yet if Su Sanjia could maintain an unbroken winning streak without relying on Soul Skills, then he must possess some unknown method.

Tang San's eyes widened. As long as Su Sanjia used power from Tang San's former world, Tang San would definitely recognize it. If that was really the case...

To conceal the truth of being someone from another world, Su Sanjia... had earned himself a death sentence!

The battle began.

The Giant Elephant Soul Master roared and entered Martial Soul Possession. His first Soul Ring flared brightly, and his height suddenly surged to three meters. His right foot stomped violently onto the ground! The floor split apart, and terrifying tremors surged toward Su Sanjia.

Facing the attack of a Soul Elder, Su Sanjia moved! Relying solely on his physical strength, he began to run. He was incredibly fast. At the instant the tremors were about to strike him, Su Sanjia exerted force through both legs and leaped into the air. Then, a jaw-dropping sight unfolded:

Su Sanjia glided through the air. His right foot stepped against empty space, and a visible circular shockwave burst outward. He had actually stepped on the air, gaining momentum once more, and swung his fist at the Giant Elephant Soul Master in a diving strike!

"What kind of technique is that?"

Tang San exclaimed, but immediately realized something was wrong. Su Sanjia was an agility-attack Soul Master, yet without even entering Martial Soul Possession, he was using his fist to directly clash with a power-type Battle Soul Master?

Could he be one of those external martial arts experts who specialized in refining the body?

Tang San's eyes were wide open, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

"Third Soul Skill, Giant Elephant Holds Up the Sky!"

The Giant Elephant Soul Master roared, and his sole purple Soul Ring lit up! His right arm visibly swelled by a full circle, and his fist smashed toward Su Sanjia like a cannonball!

At the instant the fists were about to collide, Su Sanjia's body suddenly became weightless. He moved like a sheet of paper, weaving through a cluttered desk. The devastating fist brushed past his hem, while Su Sanjia clenched his fist and curled his lips slightly upward. Under Tang San's gaze, a layer of metal-like black matter suddenly enveloped Su Sanjia's right arm.

Bang!

His fist struck the Giant Elephant Soul Master's chest. The latter's massive body looked as though it had been hit by a truck, and he staggered back several steps, nearly falling straight out of the arena.

"It's appeared! Heavenly Radiance's Self-Created Soul Skill! He absorbs the light from the surrounding space and strengthens his body with it, unleashing unparalleled power—Darkest Aura!"

The host shouted excitedly. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's mouths had long since fallen open. Tang San was equally shocked, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.

He had never seen this kind of power before. It was clearly not from his previous world. In that case, as the host had said, it should be Su Sanjia's Self-Created Soul Skill. But using the power of his Martial Soul to draw in the surrounding light? What terrifying control over one's Martial Soul!

"Strong. As expected of Heavenly Radiance!"

The Giant Elephant Soul Master's expression was grave. Though he considered himself among the stronger Soul Masters of his level, when facing Heavenly Radiance, one of the continent's greatest prodigies, he had no confidence in victory.

The two launched into a fierce battle. From beginning to end, Su Sanjia used only that "Self-Created Soul Skill," something that completely surpassed Douluo Continent Soul Masters' understanding. His body moved with incomparable grace, and the Giant Elephant Soul Master's attacks could not hit him at all. Meanwhile, every one of Su Sanjia's punches and kicks carried immense force, making the Giant Elephant Soul Master suffer miserably.

So that was how it was?

The Giant Elephant Soul Master suddenly recalled the accounts of those Soul Masters who had been defeated by Heavenly Radiance.

Heavenly Radiance seemed to possess the eyes of a god, effortlessly grasping the trajectory of their attacks. No matter how swift or tricky their attacks were, they found it difficult to land a hit. They could only endure his attacks until they were defeated.

And this time was no exception.

The Giant Elephant Soul Master collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. Trembling, he raised a hand to signal his surrender.

The entire Great Soul Arena fell silent for an instant, followed by deafening cheers!

"Heavenly Radiance! Heavenly Radiance!"

Gold Soul Coins rained into the arena as the spectators threw them down. Su Sanjia stood in the center of the arena, raising both hands and bathing in the shower of Gold Soul Coins.

After such an intense battle, perhaps the only change to him was the corner of his clothes, now stained with a little dust!
